He convinced me!


Today I was browsing through digital kitchen scales and came across this Oxo food scale. It has what I'm looking for: it has a Metric and Imperial weight button to easily switch back and forth, it's slim and compact to take up minimal space, and the 'zero' button... that's the clincher for me. I actually was having a hard time deciding which one to order, since there are some cheaper ones and I have frugal instincts hovering in the back of my mind. But then I saw a customer review video. I found it highly amusing, highly informative and... very highly convincing. I couldn't find a way to embed it, so here's a link to the video on his blog (which I recommend browsing through).

Watch Here @ Cook with Certainty

I know it's not the best idea to recommend an item before you've even ordered, much less used, it... but what can I say? I'm a dork, and I'm excited about the prospect of using this highly recommended tool. Not to mention that I recently stumbled across bbcgoodfood.com, which is AWESOME but all metric. It's a time-consuming pain to convert everything any time I want to try one of their recipes. So... here's hoping his scale is as awesome as everyone says it is!
